Catching Cassidy

2015

Harborside Nights is a sexy, hot, and evocatively real new adult contemporary romance series that follows a group of friends who come together after college—and tragedy—to build their lives. They're tough, edgy, and accepting—most of the time. Wyatt My summer plans didn’t include falling for my best friend I never imagined that instead of celebrating my college graduation and spending the summer in Harborside partying with my friends, my twin sister and I would be dealing with the death of our parents and taking over their bar. I’ve never been one to think past tomorrow. How am I supposed to run a freaking bar? Now more than ever, I need my best friend, Cassidy, by my side. The trouble is, the more we’re together, the more I want to kiss her, and when I do, I won’t want to stop there. Cassidy A summer of grief, growing up, and…losing my best friend? Wyatt has always been there for me, helping me pass my classes and fending off unwanted advances, while driving me insane with his one-night stands. But that's what best friends are for, isn't it? Having each other's backs, no matter what? There was never any doubt that I’d remain by his side all summer, but I didn’t expect to start seeing the six-two, infuriatingly-handsome, shameless flirt as more than a friend. He may be a sure thing for the summer, but I need more. I’ve got a real job in another city to begin in the fall, and I won’t give up my future, or my heart, for a summer fling.

This summer, I thought I could finally follow my heart, and come out to my closest friends, but the guilt of going against my parents’ beliefs is crushing me, while my feelings for my best friend, Ashley, are making me want and need and crave her. But I’ve never even kissed a girl. What if I do everything wrong? When another girl offers to teach me the ropes, how can I say no? That one night changes my world and gives me the courage to go after the only girl I really want. Ashley Sparks aren’t just flying. They’re igniting… I promised myself that I’d never date another girl who wasn't out. But that was before I fell for intoxicatingly sweet and sexy Delilah. Coming together means risking everything for both of us. But fear stops Delilah at every turn, and I’m not sure I can risk my heart for someone who’s afraid to show the world she’s mine. Harborside Nights series Catching Cassidy (Het) Discovering Delilah (F/F) Tempting Tristan (M/M) "Finally, a realistic lesbian protagonist! The dynamic between Delilah and Ashley was super intense. Their first kiss was insanely hot and I am very much impressed with Melissa Foster's talent for sex scenes. Lesbian sex scenes always end up TOO soft and feathery. It's not realistic. This author turned up the heat." Literary Meanderings review Characters from the Love in Bloom series will appear in the Harborside Nights books.
